Verbal argument structure: Events and participants
The generative enterprise in linguistics is roughly 50 years old, and it is reasonable to ask what progress the field has made in certain areas over the past five decades. This article will address the study of verbal argument structure. Research in generative linguistics without question has productively explored verbal argument structure within a general structuralist framework familiar from ...
متن کاملA constructional approach to English verbal gerunds
English verbal gerunds have long been of interest to syntacticians. Verbal gerund phrases display a mix of nominal and verbal properties which provide a challenge to any syntactic framework that assumes a strict version of X-bar theory. Various approaches have been proposed to get around these problems, but they all involve abandoning a fundamentally desirable theoretic assumption or adopting a...
متن کاملNon-Verbal Argument Structure: Evidence from Tagalog
This dissertation examines the syntax and argument structure of non-verbal predicates (focusing primarily on adjectives) in Tagalog. Drawing on evidence from a variety of construction types (including Comparative, Existential, and Ellipsis constructions among others), I argue against the claim that adjectives differ from verbs in their ability to project an internal theme argument (Pesetsky 198...
متن کاملHungarian WordNet and representation of verbal event structure
During the development of the Hungarian WordNet we found that the primarily hierarchical structure of the Princeton WordNet (PWN) had to be expanded in order that it could be used for a more accurate representation of relations among verbal meanings in Hungarian, as well. Treating verbs as eventualities we made some aspectual information explicitly available in the representation of verbs. Usin...
متن کاملArgument Molecules: A Functional Representation of Argument Structure
Understanding an utterance in an argument crucially requires determining the evidential relations it bears to prior and subsequent propositions in the argument (Birnbaum et al., 1980; Cohen, 1981). The memory representation of an argument should, accordingly, indicate which propositions a given proposition counts as evidence for (a support relation) or against (an attack relation), and which pr...
